The Academy is annually required to file a Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax (Form 990) with the IRS. In addition, the Academy is subject to income tax on net income that is derived from business activities that are unrelated to its exempt purposes. For the year ended August 31, 2025, the Academy did not conduct unrelated business activities that would be subject to federal income taxes and had no uncertain tax positions. Therefore, no tax provision or liability has been reported in the accompanying financial statements.GAAP requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Academy's annual Form 990 and recognition of a tax liability (or asset) if the Academy has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. Management has concluded that as of August 31, 2025, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. true true true true true true true false false false false false false false false true false true Schedule E, Line 3 - Racially Nondiscriminatory Policy Publicized Schedule E, Line 4 - Explanation of Records and Materials Not Maintained Schedule E, Line 5 - Explanation of Organization Discrimination by Race false false false false false false false false false Llyas Salahud CDO 178291 178291 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 CEO Robert Muhammad is spouse of Elementary Principal Fudia MuhammadMiddle School Principal Tyrell Turner is brother of Behavior Coordinator Tyler Turner.Principal Liaison Cynthia Nunn is spouse of Curtis Nunn.Superintendent David Nowlin is father of Coach David M.
